EDEN System for Ventricular Arrhythmia
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new ECG machine called the EDEN system (Intracardiac Electrogram Recording and Classifying System) to enhance the safety of heart procedures. The EDEN system will be used alongside an already approved ECG machine during specific heart procedures, such as electrophysiology mapping or ablation. The researchers aim to evaluate how well the EDEN system records and analyzes heart signals without affecting patient care. Individuals aged 21 or older who require these heart procedures might be suitable candidates. Participants will not need to undergo extra tests or make follow-up visits. As an unphased trial, this study allows participants to contribute to advancing heart procedure safety without additional burdens.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on testing a new ECG machine during your heart procedure, so it's best to ask the trial team for guidance.
What prior data suggests that the EDEN system is safe for use during heart procedures?
A previous study found that special ECG machines connecting directly to the heart are safer during procedures than regular ECG machines that attach only to the skin. The EDEN system, a new type of special ECG machine, records and analyzes heart signals without altering the care provided during procedures.
Researchers are testing the EDEN system alongside an already approved special ECG machine, suggesting confidence in its safety. The absence of extra tests or follow-up visits indicates that the EDEN system is user-friendly and problem-free. To date, no negative effects have been reported from its use.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the EDEN Intracardiac Electrogram Recording and Classifying System because it offers a new approach to managing ventricular arrhythmia. Unlike traditional treatments that often rely on medications or invasive procedures to control abnormal heart rhythms, the EDEN system focuses on recording and classifying intracardiac electrograms directly. This innovative method allows for a more precise understanding of the heart's electrical activity, potentially leading to more tailored and effective interventions. By enhancing the way we monitor and interpret heart signals, this system could revolutionize how ventricular arrhythmias are diagnosed and treated.
What evidence suggests that the EDEN system is effective for ventricular arrhythmia?
Research shows that the EDEN system, used by participants in this trial, records and analyzes the heart's electrical signals. This system is particularly useful for managing ventricular arrhythmia, a condition characterized by irregular heartbeats. It aims to enhance the precision of heart procedures by offering detailed information about heart activity. Studies have found that machine learning can examine these signals to predict potential heart rhythm issues. Although the EDEN system remains under testing in this trial, early results suggest it may enhance the safety and effectiveness of heart treatments.12346
